The Cup is in sight......

I am cynical by nature (and perhaps by nurture as well). Which is why I am more nervous about the Stars tonight than I am excited. I did not think we would make it this far (and I wasn't alone!). We pretty much stunk up the place the last month of the season. But we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and are getting it done.....though I have had a few heart attacks along the way (lay off the 4 overtimes, guys!)

I don't pay much attention to stats. I'm not really reading what the "experts" say. I woefully don't know that much about Detroit. I am simply waiting for tonight's game to determine my attitude from here on out. If we win, or even if we come out playing with everything we've got and lose, I will be the first to say "we can do this!". If we come out like we've never seen ice before (and it's happened.....)....well.....then.....

Right now I will just be happy if we play well. Winning or losing doesn't much matter. I do think we will probably take this to 6 or 7 games (I do NOT think Detroit will sweep). I just hope that if this is the last dance for us that I can at least say "We didn't leave a damn thing on the ice."

The puck drops in 3 hours......God help my poor heart!

Just wanted you to know that I was here. I followed you from the Sidney Crosby Show blog and read some of your posts. I thought I'd throw you a word of encouragement (even though you are a STARS fan...ewww..Flyer fan from the Bullies days.)
Anyway, I'm new to the blogging game and wanted to let you know a random stranger has read your blog and enjoyed it.

Stephanie,

I enjoyed your post at Blogger: The Sidney Crosby Show... even my MOM could tell that was a goal! :)
(ok, so I'm paraphrasing)

I hate to say it, but I think Red Wings in five. :P

Now that I've found your blog, I must say that I loved your post Sentimental Fool (although Xmas was five months ago). Why no comments? Do you not approve them?

Anyway, it reminded me of the movie "You've Got Mail", when she quotes that Joni Mitchell song:

"It's coming on Christmas/They're cutting down trees... such a sad song, and not really about Christmas at all"

when she's decorating the tree and missing her mother.

Do you remember the television special The Year Without a Santa Claus? with Mr Heat Miser and Mr Snow Miser?

Go Pens! Go Red Wings! (I don't know who I'm going to be for if they both make the Finals) :)

Holy crap! Someone's reading my blog! :)

Daniel...to be honest, I haven't really "advertised" my blog. So that's the reason for the no comments! And *I* actually am thinking Red Wings in five. *sigh*

I am such a geek.....I have recorded all the Christmas specials off the tv and burned them to a DVD! But I still watch them every time they're on (and Family Channel shows them a LOT!)

beerman....I had to resist with all my might not to comment on the Sabres No Goal Incident! You gotta know how I feel about that :). It is hard for me not to pull for the Flyers just a little....we did so love Hatcher back when we had him (my dad has a #2 jersey).

Ok, guys, guess now I'm actually gonna have to keep up with this thing! Thanks to you both for posting!!
